Fortnite’s Rift-to-Go is causing controversy among the professional community with some complaining the item is too powerful.
When the item is deployed, it immediately sends players into the air and in Skydiving mode, allowing them to quickly escape any situation.

“I think Rift-to-Go should have a five second timer to deploy,” explained Tfue while discussing ways to balance the item.

Rift-to-Go was introduced in Fortnite’s 5.3 patch on August 23.

Epic may have attempted to balance the Rift-to-Go by keeping the item open for 10 seconds after use, allowing anyone else in the area to follow the player that initially used it.
